It gives you the flexibility of choosing the shell experience that best suits the way you work.
Linux users can opt for a Bash experience, while Windows users can opt for PowerShell.

Features

Browser-based shell experience

Cloud Shell enables access to a browser-based command-line experience built with Azure management tasks in mind.
Leverage Cloud Shell to work untethered from a local machine in a way only the cloud can provide.

Choice of preferred shell experience

Azure Cloud Shell gives you the flexibility of choosing the shell experience that best suits the way you work.
Linux users can opt for a Bash experience, while Windows users can opt for PowerShell.

Pre-configured Azure workstation

Cloud Shell comes pre-installed with popular command-line tools and language support so you can work faster.

Automatic authentication

Cloud Shell securely authenticates automatically on each session for instant access to your resources through the Azure CLI 2.0.

Connect your Azure File storage

Cloud Shell machines are temporary and as a result require an Azure file share to be mounted as clouddrive to persist your $Home directory.
On first launch Cloud Shell prompts to create a resource group, storage account, and file share on your behalf. This is a one-time step and will be automatically attached for all sessions. A single file share can be mapped and will be used by both Bash and PowerShell in Cloud Shell.

Create new storage

A locally-redundant storage (LRS) account and Azure File share can be created on your behalf. The Azure File share will be used for both Bash and PowerShell environments if you choose to use both. Regular storage costs apply.
